Impressive!
Oh, and by the way--to equate a CT scan and a DNA test is like comparing apples and oranges--they are two very different things.

In response to my malediction, I apologise profusely. I did get out of hand, and I’m sorry. All I meant to say is that perhaps with royal mummies one must be more careful with regards to contamination, especially when accurate DNA tests could prove invaluable to the identification process. Anyway. I am sorry. I would ask you to make some points in support of Hawass for your next post however, as they seem to be fairly thin.

I thank you for writing that, and I apologize for saying I'll no longer respond to your posts. That would serve no purpose. However, I will say that I'll cease from debating you when it comes to Hawass because neither of us is accomplishing much of anything except ill will, and to me that serves no purpose. I do not come to these Egyptian forums to sling mud and walk away mad. What's the point, right? I used to be very active in Yahoo message boards, where acrimony and ignorance reign, and so I rarely visit those boards anymore. I come to Egyptian forums to learn and share theories, not to fight.

You will notice the growing opinions against your argument; Osiris II's post was particularly strong. Hawass did not arrive at Egyptology's highest post by being a dullard or a hack. He's been in the field almost as long as I've been alive and is an accomplished and recognized researcher.

That's the gist of it, Psusennes I. I am not interested in political infighting--not in the least. I've dealt enough with that in my life. What I am interested in is studying ancient Egypt and researching ancient Egypt, and I tip my hat to those who have devoted their lives to it professionally. Just give Osiris II's post a perusal; a man with a list of accomplishments like that is not a pretender. As Merytre-Hatshepsut pointed out in her last post, your argument may well be proven true, but for now many of us don't see it. That doesn't mean we're right and you're wrong.

So again I apologize for taking the easy way out. I'd rather participate in posts with you, but not when it concerns Hawass.

I hope some day you'll come see the Field Museum and maybe hop down the road to the Oriental Institute, if you already haven't. I think you'll enjoy what you see!

Oh, Psusennes I, I forgot to add this: where did I say I'm a "fan" of Hawass? Did I really write that? If so, I'm, quite embarrassed because a man of 38 should not write that about someone. It makes me sound like I have a schoolgirl crush on Hawass, and he's not that cute!

What I am a fan of, I guess, is what in my opinion he's done for his country. I have written that I think he's a terrific ambassodor for Egypt, and I stand by that. I think in his tenure he has done a great deal of good and has put a public face on the heritage of his nation like few modern Egyptians have managed to do.

That being said, I cannot personally say I like or dislike Hawass because I do not know him personally. I've never met him, so I would feel it too subjective to make such personal claims. But as I've said in other posts (if not yet here, then in a different forum), the Tut exhibit is coming to the Field a year from now and it's more than likely Hawass will be there. He's visited the Field numerous times, but that was before I became a docent there. So if he is in attendance with the Tut exhibit, I will certainly get the chance to meet him and perhaps work with him a bit, and only then will I be able fairly to make personal evaluations about him.

Garrgh! I've just realised that it was me who brought up Hawass in the first place. And yes, you did say you were a 'fan' of Hawass, and you also called him a 'pin-up boy' which also further enhances the schoolgirl crush analogy. Oh dear.

I'm only annoyed that I haven't met Hawass before. My experience with Egyptologists is somewhat limited- the most famous Egyptologists with whom I have spoken are Dr. Aidon Dodson, Dr. Mark Collier and Dr. Maaten Raven, which I think is pretty good for a fourteen year-old. The only vague link that I have to Hawass is, as I say, through my uncle, who found him quite erratic when he has worked with him. This shouldn't cloud my judgement however, and it's easy to see how a man who has such a difficult position as Hawass should come under fire. I really can't think of anyone else who immediately springs to mind as having done a better job, except for the governors of the best-kept sites, but I doubt they'd be after looking after all Egypt.

This is going to sound like a completely hypocritical turnaround, but I don't think that it is anyone's place to criticise Hawass before they have either met him, or can suggest someone who they feel could do a better job.

I agree with you, Psusennes! I never met with any egyptologist... But if I will be an egyptologist, that will surely happen! And your uncle knows Hawass? And he said he was erratic? Huh...

I actually really admire Hawass and when I am older I want to be an Egyptologist just like him. Up until now I only thought I could break into and plunder tombs on a screen by playing "tomb raider" but no, Hawass has shown me the light and perhaps in 20 years I too can destroy evidence left undisturbed for two thousand years by stepping on it or smashing it with a trowel. It is still a dream, do you think that one day i'll be able to handle one of the most important and famous mummies in the world with my bare hands, contaminating it and rushing through scientific procedures, making them virtually invalid? Hopefully I will also be able to demand that other countries give back all of our famous relics, keeping in mind that we still can't display the ones in Cairo properly. Hopefully one day I will be as much a meglomaniac as Hawass, one day!

Sorry....couldn't resist!! I can't BELIEVE I missed this much!! Kmt, don't go schoolgirly on me--you're one of the FEW SANE people on this forum!! Please, I beg of you, don't carry around binders worshipping Hawass and wear the uniforms....heh, wait a second...Kmt, in a girl's school uniform?!?! This ought to be rich....

Pretty good? I'd call that great! I can't say I'm familiar with Raven, but Dodson is one of the giants in the field and one of my favorite Egyptology writers. I recently picked up The Mummy in Ancient Egypt, which Dodson co-authored with Salima Ikram. It appears to be the end-all of books on Egyptian mummies. It had better be for what I paid for it! And Collier is one of my favorite linguists. I greatly enjoyed his book How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs--a wonderful text for beginners and one I still refer to. It's especially well written.

On the contrary, I think it sounds reasonable and balanced, and I applaud you for saying it.

What makes you think I'm sane in the first place? And I often wear a schoolgirl's uniform when I'm doing light cleaning around the apartment.

Okay, that's not true. I wear an Egyptian kilt and nemes headdress while I whistle Steve Martin's "King Tut."

First you take the Easter Bunny's shoes, Kmt, now you're wearing uniforms and pharaoh costumes?!?!?!

I wanna see a picture of you in a pharaoh's garb!!!!!!

Hawass is human, believe it or not...I agree with Lostris, people DO make mistakes...I make mistakes sometimes, too, but you know, you LEARN from them, that's why there are mistakes, accidents, whatever. ^_^ I sound moralistic, forgive me...

Jesus here is the debate hot... Well just to kill some of the many arguments...
Have anyone of you ever worked or been to a Chemical industry?????
For several years they changed from gloves to SPRAY!!!!!!
Could it be possible that the man is using spray?????
There are several types of spray gloves Some of them even
stop burns you can spray your hands and arms then put them
straight in to the flames for several minutes without getting burned.
In this TV shows everything is directed so maybe they chose
spray gloves instead of the latex??? just a suggestion maybe

I think every egyptologist should wear gloves, even if they work with treasure, statues or mummies. I was always very bad from Chemistry, but I know a lot of sprays have strogly poisonous ingredients, which can do damage with them. I don't think everyone must have a large chemical knowlegde, but maybe a chemical should look after the sprays that they use.

I've been following this topic and .. wow! The majority of you are out of your minds!

Anyhoo, why would one wear gloves when handling statues, Lostris? Stone is thousands, if not millions of years old. I can pick up a stone on the sidewalk and fumble with it a bit, but it doesn't mean that stone is going to dissolve into nothingness! What's the difference, really, between a stone in the road and a statue?

Good point, Unas.
This never-ending debate over the pro and cons of Hawass is getting out of hand. After all is said and done, he remains the most well know figure in Egyptology. His merits, or lack of, do not really make much of a big issue. I must agree with you on Lostris' statement about the use of gloves, though. Using them to handle statues is not required at all. And Hawass' not using them when he handled Tut's mummy is needless--after all, the mummy has been through a lot! I'm sure that he was very delicate with the remains. It's was at his insistance that left the mummy in its tomb in the first place--many people though he should be in the museum.
I really don't think that those who debate this issue are out of their minds, just a bit fanatical on this subject!
